hiding in a little hole making noise

(he/him)

This is my non-professional, meaning my actual, identity (my other must stay cloven for a time)--I'm here for the music and 'narchy and weirdness and thoughtfulness

right now doing #NoiseReminder weekly-ish

Too little, too late? The battle to save Tripoli's futuristic fairground

Designed by Brazilian modernist Oscar Niemeyer, Lebanon’s international expo site has been abandoned since civil war broke out in the 1970s

A brief #NoiseReminder that before the last two songs of The Lakes of Zones B and C by the great @emperorx there's this enigmatic mostly vocal echo-drone and like the whole album and the whole discography it's very very good:

What I'm listening to today: "Saigon Window // Crunchy Ambient [Live Performance]", Dexba

A flowing 20-minute live set featuring a slightly unusual setup (multiple Meng Qi synths) and, as advertised, a window on a Vietnamese street. Starts with some basically okay distorted chimes and echoing howls but around the seven to ten minute mark it finds an atmospheric groove and from there to the end is a transcendent cosmic journey.

Workers > Billionaires

@shengokai 1000% this. The “build your own instance” arg to me also echoes a familiar rhetoric to poc: “if you don’t like it here, go back to where you came from.” More than that, tho, it’s a very individualizing response to a systemic problem
